    My favourite Thai soup after travelling Thailand and discovering it. This recipe is really tasty and versatile, I added chopped peppers and green beans that I had lying around. I also left it vegetarian and it was delicious. I used egg noodles as thats what I had in the cupboard. I added a teaspoon of green thai curry paste too....yummy.

    We used lemon instead of lime. Should have used lime. Also rice noodles are a must. Egg are too robust for this soup which is quite delicately flavoured.
